Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an accommodation that you booked through our platform if you stayed there, or if you got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize in detecting fake reviews submitted to our platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, or the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and other similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties, and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

TaiwanThe carpet of the room and the dining area are not the best. I was probably allegic to the dust of the carpet.
The location and the atmosphere of the hotel speak for its historical significance. It has kept timeless charm with modern twist services. I enjoy the nightwear provided by the hotel. It was comfortable and soft. I bought two sets of nightwear as my souvenirs from The Orient. I am sure I would cherish it for a long time.

United StatesThe Orient completely exceeded my expectations. It was so clean, quiet, and luxurious. The staff was so kind and helpful, and went above and beyond the service I have received at any hotel anywhere. The room provided so many complimentary toiletries and amenities. The food at the hotel restaurant is amazing (the french toast is heavenly!). I wish I had stayed longer! If I ever return to Japan, I am definitely staying here again.

AustraliaWe were very disappointed in the breakfast The usual level 17 room was not available so the ambience was sorely lacking. The variety of options didn’t seem up to normal standards and the meal I ordered crab and eggs benedict was flavourless and soggy. At 110,000 yen this felt not good value. We are not inclined to return after this experience.
We love the rooms at the Orient. The beds are so comfortable and the linen and doonas are soft and plush. We love the deep bath and skin care products. Everything is high quality

AustraliaJust some items need refreshing in the room...bathrooms are in good condition but not really modern style. Very limited TV channel options for non-Japanese speaking guests. Overall. very little to complain about !
Wonderful location where you can walk to stations, restaurants and shops in the Kobe city area. Hotel facility was a little older grand style but in good condition with that smaller intimate feel that you don't get a very large hotel. Room was spacious and very clean and Japanese style bath/ shower room was excellent. Staff were very very attentive and helpful....so, overall stay here was very pleasant. We will stay here again.
